Tonight! Future Arts Fest Tonight!

Tonight’s another installment of the Future Arts Festival, which goes to benefit the PDJX Event in August. There’s a ton of stuff going on, with performances by Chromatics (pictured above), Mute Era, Fleshtone, Copy, DJ RAD!, DJ Girlfriends, and Dee Jay Jack. This is going to be a two-floor party and it should be a blast. Our own Drew Gemmer (Intern to the Stars!) is particularly excited about Fleshtone’s performance tonight:

…Damn, they do put on a good show. It’s nearly impossible not to get caught up in the whole experience when Fleshtone’s deranged cheerleading hits the stage, choreographed to the hilt with high kicks and floor humping. The dark, synth-heavy electronica is made all the more absurd with lyrics like “knock-knock-knocking on your uterine wall, scream-scream-screaming as I come down the hall.” And “Feed us! Feed us! You ain’t nothing but a fetus.” You get the idea. DREW GEMMER
